Reviews of McDonald's Hamilton East

D.

Busy as, but we sat outside and ate what we ordered. Massive feed it went down well. Plenty of room to sit as its a small Maccas. Staff were great

C.

The service of the staff is the only reason I've given a 3star rating. Personally always prompt and polite, food is alright... could work a little more on deep fried holding times. The Asian woman though which I think is a Manager has made and served my coffee a few times throughout this year needs to be trained again in McCafe like for reals. Always watery compared to others. McDaddy get on it!!!!

C.

Ordered a 50 pk, didnt get extra nuggs but got 3 extra sweet and sour sauces. Best mcdonalds ever.

A.

After being sold a cheeseburger with no meat pattie, the customer service team were quick to remedy the problem.. no complaints here, maccas as you'd expect... they're right 80% of the time 🤷🏽‍♂️😆

A.

Excellent drive through service as it is both fast and easy. The staff are always friendly inside and the food is usually to a very high presentation and standard. One fault of the McDonalds is that it commonly forgets the small things, like sweet and sour sauce. All in all one of my best drive through experiences in the North Island.

F.

Great service, big Mac burgers well made, food nice and hot, very happy.

K.

It took a long time to get through the drive through

R.

Small mcdonalds, but fast service like you expect any mcdonalds. Great fries good amount of salt

M.

Awesome drive thru 👍 Nice and quick

P.

Service was a bit slow at drive through.

D.

Good place to buy Mack Dz. drive thru great

M.

Only one thing about this Maccas is that it's so popular. Massive waiting line for drive thru.

S.

Service was ok. Couldn't eat in but could use the tables outside

C.

Usually these guys are great with fresh food and friendly service. However tonight there were a few errors in our order which is unusual for this outlet. Me and my brother ordered a meal each as we usually do coming back from a groceries run Wednesday night after work. We recieved only one fries between the two meal combos, the Mega mac was only a big mac, and the frozen coke tasted like someone doused it with ajax spray and wipe. We didnt want to turn back in and complain, as we like this outlet and the friendly and capable staff that work there, plus they were quite busy so some mistakes are understandable. Any other time and this would be an easy five stars for me.

M.

Always friendly service and good attention to grill slips.

r.

It is place in Hamilton East, to get some food, mainly by car, though there are a few place inside to eat at 😊

G.

Good service, even at 2 a.m on a Saturday

L.

Ok so I don't understand how a 24hrs McDonald's doesn't offer a chicken royale or equivalent after 1030pm! That just doesn't make sense! Apart from this strange rule, the staff were good, food was good (except I really wanted that chicken royale) and the coffee was fine although could've been more hot.

J.

Got our order wrong and getting in and out is not an easy task. It's also macdonalds so.

D.

Food was good drive threw tried to rush me only reason why I haven't given a 5 over all very happy with the sevice given

K.

Our local McDonalds. The service is generally pretty good. It’s mostly moved to self service since Covid and often only one of the machines works. But most of the time they get the order right and we tend to customise our orders a lot so I appreciate that.

T.

Frozen drink machine is always broken and very hard location to get out of

M.

Wait times are super long and parking is really bad. I just wanted to zip into Maccas to get a choc dip in the drive through. I get to the line and see the que hasn't moved for a long while, so I decide it's not worth the wait with 5 cars ahead of me. I try to get out but the parking spaces and drive way are so narrow it's near impossible to turn especially when another car is coming up the driveway. I kept waiting in line for about 30 mins to order

T.

Always really friendly staff, meals come out fast, hot and with your full order in the bag as some takeout places can forget some of your order. Not a big area to eat inside but good for a quick stop in place to eat.

K.

My favorite McDonald's the people look miserable but don't treat you any less they are still friendly and good frozen cokes

S.

It's ok. Not the greatest maccas. But it will do.

T.

Seemed more interested in filling the Uber orders than the in-store orders. Have been three times and waited a minimum of ten minutes each time and all I ordered was a large quarter pounder combo. Longest wait was nearly 20 minutes!

B.

Stopped here a few times, just sad, the only way out is threw the drive thru. They need bigger space, for people parked in the car park spaces, wanting to get out. Anywho food was over all amazing, everything was presentable, and cooked fresh. Totally recommend, will be going back as per usual.

M.

Actually a really nice experience. Enjoyed my meal, breakfast was good. Hotcakes were surprisingly good, fluffy and filling.

H.

Long day for my grandson time for a treat🤔😊

g.

I have the mcdonald's app. & It does say on the app that the deals are only for a limited time. I wish the app knew when to renew it's deals then, so when you get to a restaurant you wont be denied an app meal. It's usually a reliable takeaway usually. I think, I'm just used to buying my individual meals without the app. So it was kind of a let down that I couldn't use the app deals at the restaurant. Also, have trouble with mcdonalds on Uber aswell. I'm always getting refunded for the food, they forget in my order. Also I haven't told mcdonald's about the other stuff they've forgotten. You get over it after a while. I still eat mcdonald's. I don't know what to do about it's mishappenings even though I like their food! . Rattys - but personally for all restaurants I'd give them all a 2/5.

M.

Food is just like other McDonald's these guys are fairly busy, the usual 50/50 chance frozen & ice cream machine broken haha, customer service is great they just seem under staffed

O.

Went in to order. The place was immaculate and the staff exceptional. A lady came in complaining about a mistake she made with her order. I found her rude and ugly but the csr was very polite and did not lose her cool. As for the kiwi lady, ugly and not necessary

P.

Too small as we drive up drive thru

K.

Well prepared burgers 🍔 😋.

P.

Drive through was pretty slow, and chips under salted. But service was lovely and everything else is too notch

E.

Always try to go to this McDonald before any other as they are great to deal with and make your food to order exceptions when too busy

J.

Reliable - food quality is very consistently good

b.

Food is about what you expect from a McDonald's and is fairy consistent. To note you have to go through the drive through if you park inside.

J.

Great for quick drive thru option. Not a sit in restaurant as such so if with a larger group go elsewhere.

L.

Always fun deciding what to order at McDonald's

O.

Service was positive and friendly. Burger was a little dry but meal was good overall.

T.

Not so spacious interior . Food is delicious but you have to wait for a long time after ordering to get it. Parking spot is a bit awkward. But the staff members are very good and behave well. Do visit this place with your friends, family and relatives. Burger, burger and burger 🍔 along with other yummy food too.

A.

Have visited probably 4-5 times since the beginning of this year, food has been OK but seem to miss fries, straws or serviettes every time.

A.

Fast effective service all staff really polite and the food nice and fresh definitely fave mcds

K.

The smallest McDonald's I have ever seen. A total of 3 tables! Our food was nice and the staff were good but the place was filthy. Would have been a 5 star rating if these guys swept a floor and wiped a table..

B.

Service is okay. A few of their staff are nice and friendly but most are dismissive or neutral. Ive ordered through uber eats with them and they've gotten my order wrong 3 times. Basic compensation was given. Always check your meals are correct upon leaving as I can understand they get quite busy. I STRESS: Do not drive into the parking lot as you cannot leave without going through the drive thru. There is only one way in and out. If you intend to dine in, park somwhere nearby or across the road. Uber drivers always take the parking outside the front.

D.

Quite small only had coke flavour in the frozen coke machine when I went

J.

Long wait in Drive through, food cold.

D.

Great service and fast serving times, only problem is parking otherwise drive through is quick and never had a problem with my order.

W.

Drive through was good but if you have a large SUV you'll have troubles turning to go towards the ordering microphone. Overall the staff was very friendly

G.

Drive through was very slow at first, then sped up when we got to the window. Great if you like fast food

F.

Short staffed and the burger wasn't a mess

G.

Service here is usually quite good, burgers well made and chips hot. Staff are polite and considerate. I drive (further) here rather than Greenwood St cause they are better and actually serve Almighty Angus after 10 (unlike Greenwood).

j.

Only down side is they always forget the sweet and sour sauce. For my nuggies Apart for that decent quality food and presentation

M.

I liked their burger more. I was inspired to try making it at home. Then there was this promo. My hubby and I bought 4 items from the shop and we won on 2 of the items. Yet to redeem it though.

M.

It's fine as a McDonald's, there is pretty good service. It is quite annoying, though, that the drive-thru is also the entrance to the parking. This means that if you've parked and want to leave them you have to go through the drive-thru, which can be very slow.

S.

Your standard McDonald's. Nothing fancy, okay food, okay service.

m.

Bros gave me a cold meal .. not the one .

a.

Normally pretty good. Has completely botched an order before, which I'm still sore about

K.

Lots of yelling in back service area by staff. staff did not hear all of my order, had to purchase as separate item. Gourmet burgers should have buns offered or cutlery provided. Very messy, not enjoyable. Will go back to a Big Mac in future.

Q.

As far as McDonald's go in Hamilton, this is probably the last one I would pick. It's really a drive-thru and nothing more. The food quality is standard, but the seating and parking is essentially non-existent. OK for drive-thru.

T.

A secluded McDs in the Hamilton East area. It is good to know that once you turn into the driveway you are pretty committed to going through the driveway. If there are a lot of vehicles you will be waiting longer than you expect. If driveway is empty prompt service if full you will have a longer wait.

A.

Great service. Do not park at back. If you plan on dining on site. Exit through drive thru. Best find park on street.

M.

Everytime I have been here , the chips are always hot and have only just been cooked.

s.

Same old sameold

K.

Lovely and bright lady at the drive through. Food was great for feeding my wee tribe. Loving it

r.

Well always a good feed

E.

Great little McDonald's. Small but speedy

H.

Good amount of sauce on the burgers, timely, no missing items. Shot guys

F.

Exceptional

T.

Great staff The place is keeped clean must times I've been there

D.

🍔

B.

Great service thanjs

S.

Have had no issues with the drive thru, customer service is always quick with friendly staff

M.

If i need to go back i will Pleasant attitudes reasonable customer service

j.

This is probably the smallest Maccas branch I have ever seen. Only a few minutes-drive from the Hamilton Gardens. Indoor sits only 14 people. And yet it has 2 self-order stations, 2 tills and 1 toilet. Outdoor has 3-4 benches, drive-thru and car park for 4 vehicles. A bit of a hassle though when you park at the back and there's a long line at the drive-thru as its a shared driveway. WIm so amused with the branch. Cant imagine how stressed they would be when 3 jampacked tourist buses loaded with hungry tourists decide to stop and have lunch here. To be fair, the service was quite fast and the toilet was clean.

a.

Better off going around drive through the restaurant is tiny although cleaner then most places

B.

Service etc ok...parked up to go inside awkward to get back out...had to go via drive through,which I hadn't realised when I went in... I'm from out of town and didn't realize it was like that....got what I wanted so all good in the end. !

K.

sometimes good, sometimes bad, depending on who's working I guess

M.

Lovely thick shake.

A.

Good one

G.

Not bad

J.

Busy even by McDonald's standards, but service is normally pretty quick and it's never too messy, even the bathrooms. Staff seem friendly and efficient.

S.

Good overall. Mostly busy.

T.

Really tiny McDonald's with hardly any where to sit. If you park in the car park you have to leave through the drive-thru. Went there for breakfast coffee machine wasn't working pretty disappointing .

R.

It had been raining, but the floor was so ridiculously slippery that I nearly fell over several times, and I had good grip shoes on. It really was an accident waiting to happen.

M.

They are very good at getting you thru the drive in!!

T.

Nice short stop. Little dishevelled but ok for quick stop

M.

Drive thru is always at a snail's pace but the staff are kind and I know are doing their best

W.

Nice friendly staff, limited parking but offers a park, playground area for kids across the road great for Mcdonalds picnic in the summertime

K.

Went through drive through very prompt service not bad.

#.

The smallest McDonalds I have ever seen with interesting design. Not much space inside but additional 3 benches outside which is chill on a nice sunny day!

J.

Me and mate Waited 15min for electronic order to find out when we asked, the order didn't come thru even tho we had printed receipts! Anyway, got an extra hashie and she apologized.

D.

If you were looking for dine in I go to another MacDonalds, it's ok for takeaway or drive thru.

C.

It was lovely, we found a great place to sit under a tree an my granddaughter enjoyed making food out of sand lol.

F.

Service fast but staff was not in good mood honestly

B.

Not to often, though

K.

Morning shift (6.30am), at East side are always friendly....well this particular asian man is....he has such lovely customer service skills....always happy to see him when I roll up because hes always polite and guaranteed to give service with a smile....which you dont always get these days:(

J.

Only went to drive through, but were quick and efficient and the food and drink were hot.

R.

If you're wanting to dine-in, parking within the vicinity can be a bit of a pain seeing as you'd have to join the drive thru queue to exit. Otherwise, you can always park along the road.

G.

Good place to go when hungry and can't be bothered to cook any time of the day. Beautiful fast food and friendly service.

N.

Not bad, excellent tea. Drive through lane is very tight for larger cars though.

K.

Lovely and bright lady at the drive through. Food was great for feeding my wee tribe. Loving it

M.

Usually really slow even when theres 3 cars at the drive thru.

A.

Very little seating in the restaurant. However, it's proximity to the park across the street means it isn't that big of a deal if the weather is nice.

K.

The food was good didnt mess up anything and for a saturday was quite speedy

G.

McDonald's... Maccas, Micky D's, mckdonnadaolodols. Reliable. It's the same every time. Could be a strength if you love it. Do you love it? A big question that. If you love miccodonolodondslds, do you love yourself?

T.

Great staff The place is keeped clean must times I've been there

M.

Inside is small and parking is a bit odd. To get out you need to drive through the drive-thru. Really made for drive thru service. Food was good though.

H.

Busy street, busy little mcds, food hot, coffee great.

A.

Food was as expected, dining area is almost non-existent and Parking is terrible,

R.

Not bad. Pretty decent service and food. Not the best maccas but certainly isn't the worst.

k.

Abit slow on service, but have my order rite

P.

Good service, just not very many tables to eat at. More of a drive through Mac Donald's rather than a sit down restaurant.

L.

Originally were often very slack on food orders in the past but have become quick and effienceint when getting food recently

F.

Drive through service was ok. At 2130 the range of products was inferior to day service. May restrict visits to earlier hours

G.

I don't generally dont eat McDonald's but it's confident to get a coffee via the drive through. Generally don't wait to long.

H.

Good amount of sauce on the burgers, timely, no missing items. Shot guys

c.

I had no problem with this mc Donald's I go here often and no concerns with anything other people commenting about bad parking I agree but doesn't concern me I park on the road and sure the shop is a little small but I always takeaway hardly ever eat in

M.

Cashier asked us to repeat order twice and then still got it wrong. Almost like she was new but she did not have a trainee badge on.

J.

real strict about seeing maccas app vouchers redeemed. no good. managers need to relax i think

S.

nice staff but kinda dirty in general.

J.

It's McDonalds Give brain good chemical short term and body bad chemical long term

C.

Sometimes they forget things in your order, but mostly okay. Same as any Maccas really.

J.

Great service and fast

W.

Good place service is fast just very small not much car parks.

C.

Clean friendly service but parking lot layout is not the best

M.

20 minute drive through and fries were like warm at best.

It's ok as all McDonalds go, service is ok but a lot of mistakes on orders hence 3 starts.

G.

Ok service. Small premises inside. Outdoor eating area. Across from Steele park with lovely trees and an excelent playground at the park

R.

Smaller restaurant in the chain. So not the place to take a bigger group. Drive through is pretty handy for the area
